Quotes 

• Barrie Trexel : If Susan's lying in a ditch, you can be sure it's a perfectly good ditch, with hot and cold running water.

• Cabbie : Where to mister?

  Barrie Trexel : The Club!

  Cabbie : Lambs, Friars, Lotos, Explorers, Union League, Rosie's Rendezvous?

  Barrie Trexel : The Hunt.

  Cabbie : The Hunt. Right you are, sir.

• Susan Trexel : You realize what you're doing? What you're promising?

  Barrie Trexel : I'm promising to give you up for ever, if I slip.

  Susan Trexel : Even if it's only...

  Barrie Trexel : Even if I only last a day, or an hour. You win. I lose.

• Barrie Trexel : I thought you liked the camp? Better than anything?

  Blossom Trexel : What made you think that?

  Barrie Trexel : Well, I've been told it's a nice, healthy place.

  Blossom Trexel : If I get any more healthy, I'll die! I hate the camp, I hate it!

• Blossom Trexel : You're all right, Dad. Why can't you be like this all the time?

  Barrie Trexel : Seems simple enough, doesn't it? Somehow what we mean to be and what we are - are quite different.

• Barrie Trexel : Where are the things that you thought were me and the things I thought were you? Where have they gone? Can't we get 'em back?

  Susan Trexel : Things don't come back, Barrie. Nobody stands still. We go up or we go down.

  Barrie Trexel : You're the up and I'm the down.

• Barrie Trexel : At least we know where we are, even if we don't know where we're going.

• Barrie Trexel : There's not going to be that smash that you predicted. And those little birdies that you spoke about so feelingly, are gonna go right on singing their song, while I wet my whistle on cambric tea.

  Susan Trexel : Oh, Barrie, you know very well that I want you to stop your drinking.

  Barrie Trexel : I know very well that you've been counting on old John Barleycorn to get you out of your bargain. But, he's not going to do it!

• Susan Trexel : We don't even speak the same language anymore. I - I've changed.

  Barrie Trexel : Yes, by heaven, you have - from being the adorable little scatterbrain I married, you've turned into a very bad sport.

• Barrie Trexel : You know, the trouble with you, Charlotte, you've got no "come on." You're too honest. I guess men like to be fooled a little.

  Charlotte : I guess I'd have to fool them a lot.

  Barrie Trexel : Good ole, Char.

• Barrie Trexel : If you want a real beauty in - this lipstick is known as: Fireman's Underwear Red. Guaranteed not to come off, even on a fireman.

  Susan Trexel : You're so smart. How do you know so much?

  Barrie Trexel : Yeah, that's right. How would I know?

• Barrie Trexel : Heaven help the race of males with girls like you about.
